It was with pleasure that the Westboro Beach Community Association (WBCA) nominated Catherine Casserly for the Volunteer Ottawa Mayor’s Award for Volunteer Spirit. Catherine embodies volunteer spirit for her work to build a better Ottawa. She has worked for years to improve her neighbourhood in Ottawa and to offer refuge for those who have lost their community and country as a result of war and strife in their homeland. The award was presented on April 26, 2017 at City Hall. Congratulations and thank-you Catherine!
